When we are little
we never knew that death
was even a thing
when we found out about it
it was nothing but a concept
something we didn't really believe
because we never fully understood it
we think that it won't ever happen to us
or anyone we know
and then someone close to us dies
and that just seals the deal
we finally figure it out
that could happen to us
at any given moment
and its scary
so, we put it at the back of our minds
and pretend it doesn't exist
and then we start thinking about it
more and more
and we begin to fear it
we begin to fear the fact
that we could die
and then we get older
and some of us begin to welcome the idea of death
because then maybe
just maybe
we can have an escape of life
by not living at all
and some of us like that idea
